A missing Pablo Picasso painting was spotted at the home of the Philippines’ controversial former first lady — as she celebrated her son’s presidential victory, according to a former official familiar with the artwork.

Imelda Marcos — the widow of late Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos — was filmed hugging her son, Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., in footage that aired this week with the apparent long-lost masterpiece “Reclining Woman VI” hanging on a wall behind them.

The bombshell in the background was broadcast in a news segment by the local station TV Patrol Tuesday after Marcos Jr. became the country’s next president in a landslide victory.

“Bongbong” is the perfect name for Hunter’s next illegitimate son!

I believe is real. The authorities confiscated several Picasso’s from the crooks but that one was missing.Now she’s busted.

Remember when (well I’m old) the Philippines hosted the Olympocs and during construction a building collapsed but instead of recover the dead bodies of the construction workers Imelda ordered them to build over top of their bodies? She’s a real peach.

Good Q, It’s valued at 8 billion philippine pesos I think thats a little over 1.5 Million US.

When I was stationed at Lajes Field, Terceira Island, Azores, Portugal my wife and I visited a very small private museum in Angra do Heroísmo.   There before my shocked eyes was a small Picasso.   I later found out that Picasso was very prolific and there are Picassos everywhere.

Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno de los Remedios Crispín Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruíz y Picasso (1881-1973) of Spain was the most prolific of all professional painters in a career which lasted 75 years.

If Hunter Biden ran for President of the Philippines he would lose because he’s too honest.

Her son will soon be the Philippine President. The Marcos family has come full circle.

Manila Cultural Center collapsed during construction entombed workers under tons of wet cement which permanently hardened. Imelda Marcos was ruthless. A dancer from visayan islands Knew here priest confessor. Bong Bong is shallow at best.

The cheapest Picasso painting costs around $120,000, while the most expensive could be worth $140 million

So... the recently elected president was aware that his mother was displaying stolen art.

You couldn't find more sociopathic narcissists among patients in a psych ward.

Most Filipinos are within a generation and a few miles of being head hunting cannibals. You’d be lucky to be served dog and monkey.

I’ll bet Imelda’s shoe collection is worth more than that-depending on how many famous and/or dead designer pairs of shoes she has...

[Charlemagne on the Fox]

Bwa-ha-ha!

[Trailerpark Badass]

Probably a fake.

Could probably find a half dozen others in the palatial houses of rich morons.

I’m sure their Tourism took a big hit when the U.S. Military Bases were shut down. The Phillipinos demanded it.
Be careful what you wish for.

[Chickensoup]

True and there are drawings everywhere.

Apparently a fake one was seized from them in 2014, yet here is another hanging in her living room. If this is a 2nd fake where is the real one they allegedly bought in the 70’s?
